Overview
- Hadyn Dollery, 19, of Chantilly, was taken into custody Monday, April 20, after a Safe2Talk tip flagged online threats toward John Champe High School.
- Deputies arrested Dollery off school grounds and charged the teen with threats of bodily injury, and the sheriff’s office says Dollery is being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center.
- Loudoun County Public Schools removed Dollery from its substitute roster, and records show the teen was a non-licensed substitute, a role Virginia allows for adults 18 and older with a high school diploma or equivalent.
- A criminal complaint described by local media says Discord messages referenced a planned “murder spree” and a “kill list,” while investigators have not released further specifics and are asking the public for tips.
- Safe2Talk is a reporting app used by students and community members to send concerns directly to school officials and law enforcement, which can trigger investigations before threats reach a campus.
